1) We get further away from the luxury tax and all the joy that comes with it.
2) We trade away a good player but get two above avg. players giving us depth.
3) While both guys do come off the books after the year sign and trades are options, giving us even more flecibility.
4) We are getting 2 first rounders and that gives us plenty of ammo to move up.
5) Hilton Armstrong can really develop further.

how are you 100% certain that we are definitely getting 2 #1's, an article on espn says that OK lost no draft picks to new orleans

1. agreed

2. we get 2 average players for half a season

3. sign and trades? if we did that #1 would be moot, fyi, and it won't happen

4. no major media outlet, including the hornets website, says anything about a first rounder, let alone 2

5. he has little room to develop based on his athleticism and age, and he's garbage otherwise. relying more on hilton is bad for the team

Thank you Hornets FO!

Thanks for bringing in Chris Wilcox... alot of folks don't know how nice this guy's game is. I watch alot of games on the League Pass, and for the last few years Wilcox has been a silent beast in Seattle and now OKC.

I was hoping there was a way we could swing a trade for him, and now that he's a Hornet I couln't be more happy.

Joe Smith is Lagniappe... but he still has a nice post game. The 1st rouder(s) are also nice.

I think we have finally struck gold, and now we have COMPITENT inside players. both can play with their backs to the basket, and Wilcox can run the floor as good/better than TC.

I'll miss TC... the dude is a class act, but we've made our team better with this trade.
